* BatterUp: Considering that the cartoon ''[=ProStars=]'' has Michael Jordan, Wayne Gretzky and Bo Jackson fighting crime, it was inevitable that they'd go into battle throwing basketballs, swinging a hockey stick, and bashing attacks out of the

''[=ProStars=]'' was a SaturdayMorningCartoon, produced for Creator/{{NBC}} by Creator/DiCEntertainment, starring UsefulNotes/MichaelJordan, Creator/BoJackson and UsefulNotes/WayneGretzky. It ran 13 episodes in 1991. The show stars animated versions of Michael Jordan, Bo Jackson and Wayne Gretzky, who all [[TheyFightCrime fight crime]] and [[GreenAesop save the environment]]. In most episodes, they'd get called in to save the day by a kid, get some sports-related weapons and battle a villain who is wreaking havoc [[ForTheEvulz just because they can]]. Some episodes dealt with things like the larceny of the Stanley Cup, or kids in gangs, for example. At the end of each episode, the athletes themselves explained the lesson in a live-action clip.

* ForTheEvulz: Most of the villains can be likened to the villains of ''WesternAnimation/CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteers'', for example.

to:

* CuttingTheKnot: One episode had the heroes trying to turn off a force field in which a girl was being held. They fed a lot of data into their computer like the girl's weight. The computer's answer? Pull the plug.
* ForTheEvulz: Most of the villains can be likened to the villains of ''WesternAnimation/CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteers'', for example. A few cases though did include an actual motive like driving inhabitants off an oil field.
